Derren Brown's book "Happy: Why More or Less Everything Is Fine" (which is much better than the title might lead you to believe) does a very good job exploring the philosophy behind this.

The choices we make have meaningful and value in large part because we sacrifice a fraction of our finite time and attention in order to do them. But once you have infinite time, then the value of everything you do becomes zero.

by that logic things done during shorter lives are more valuable, so you should kill everyone as soon as possible to make their lives more meaningful

Having a longer life gives you a greater total capacity to do and create meaningful things. But the meaning of any given fixed-time act is less if the lifespan is shorter.

Spending half your life writing a book makes that book more meaningful than spending a tenth of your life doing it. But you can only write two of the former versus ten of the latter.

Either way, this is a simple and dumb mathematical model, not a literal equation for calculating the actual value of a life's work.
